I think LDAP is used more and more in the corporate environement, replacing old things like NIS on Unix and making the integration easier in a Windows environement with an AD (I don't like this but it is the corporate reality). Now I can't say for the moment if LAT is the right tool to achieve this, since I didn't find the time to test it yet but it seems at least promising.
